This is a very dramatic vertical cluster of intergrown, translucent, pastel pink apatite crystals from the Shigar region of Pakistan. Note that most pink apatite from Pakistan occurs in the Nagar region, whereas this is much rarer from Shigar - and of different habit and shape, entirely, from a small pocket in 2021. This is a complete floater!
